Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- no guideline available
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- BASF-TEST: The substance was injected into the peritoneal cavity. Young adult laboratory mice were purchased from breeder. Usually the source and strain of animals were not documented. Several groups of 5 mice per sex and dose were treated simultaneously with preparations of the test substance in suitable vehicle. The concentrations of these preparations were used to achieve comparable volumes per kg body weight. Group-wise documentation of clinical signs was performed over the 7 day study period. Body weight was determined before the start of the study only, as it was needed for determination of dose.
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Remarks:
- GLP was not compulsory at the time the study was conducted
